The new fall silk hat will be high.
er and straighter in the crown than
its spring forerunner, with a narrow
brim, having a flat curve, technically
called It "D'Orsay roll." Derbies will
be high with rounder crowns and less
brims than formerly, and in color,
black will be worn more than brown
which is the only other permissible
shade. The tailors have not much
to trouble them, as the styles of men's
clothes have not been altered to any
great degree. Four -button cutaways
and one button cutaways will be chief-
ly worn, the neck opening being out
a trifle lower than formerly. Trous-
ers are steadily on trio increase in
width, and are cut straight instead of
being shaded to the calf. Overcoats
will be single breasted Chesterfields in
cassimers and diagonals. No new
materials seem to have been introduc-
ed. Cheeks will stillhold their plane,
while a broad, wide spaced diagonal
seems likely to be fashionable. In
neck -wear the folded scarf has been
largely replaced by the simple sailors'
knot.
The Extent or the British Empire.
The British Empire covers nearly a
sixth of the land stigma of the earth.
The entire surface of the globe is es-
timated at 197,000,000 square miles,
of which a little more than a quarter,
or 51,500,000 square miles, are land,
and the total extent of the British
Empire is 8,990,211 square miles,
which may be tabulated thus :—
Square miles
Great Britain and Ireland 121,116
Indian possessi0ne 668,864
Other Eastern possessions 80,000
Australia 8,181,844
Canada 8,020,600
Guiana, etc. 100,000
Africa 270,000
Wast Indies 12,707
European possessions 120
Various settlements 06,171
Total 8,900,211
The population of this enormous
empire is estimated at 810,225,000
souls, and well was it said to be "a
power which has dotted the surface
of the whole globe with her possess-
ions and military posts, whose morn-
ing drum -beat, following the sun and
keeping company with the hours, cir-
cles the earth with one continuous
and unbroked strain of the martial
airs of England."
JOSH BILLING'S PHILOSOPIIY.
Honesty iz money at interest.
Ideality iz the smoke of an idea.
Habits are a hair at first, at last a
cable,
No great suckoess haz ever been
reached yet without a martyrdom ov
sum kind.
Hope haz no favorites, and often
playz a konfidence game with thoze
she deals with.
All genuine humorists aro az ready
to weep az they are to laff; humor
and pathos gro on the same bush.
It would be difficult to name a
single thing wo possess that haz not
Moet us more than it iz worth.
Tho ladder ov fame is free to all,
but to many ib iz line khmbiug a
greast pole, up one foot, then slip
bak three.
Hato and hurry aro a kupple ov
vagrants tinny how, but haste ie more
ov the nature ov pispatch, Hurry
iz enough to entangle enny man's
lege,
Ilonest iz a principal, while honor
seems more like it sentiment, often a
very refined seutimuut, it 10 trite.
If a man iz absolutely wise be ken
git along with a very little grav'ty.
Gravity iz the very best hard to dull
pbool ken play.
One grate man in the world at a
time is one ; they are it grab no.
Hance; if they could be lint up into
four medium once it would bo better.
There ain't instep hlpoltrasy in
hate ; it iz a thousand times more
honest than flattery, but we unlit al.
wusS give good rations for our

Grate things and grata mini should

It iz very diffikult to clotuo hap-
piness or unhappiness, or to a Inez-
eure them in envy way ; perhaps the
best way iz to guess at the amount

Hipokraey iz more wiked than in-
fidelity ; it iz possible for au infidel

WHAT WOMEN SUFFER.
The Canada Casket, referring to
the suffering which strong drink im-
poses upon women, says :—Tho ap-
petite for strong drink in man has
spoiled the lives of more women,
ruined more homes for then, brought
t0 them more sorrow, scattered mole
fortunes for them, cursed with more
brutality, shame and hardship than
any other evil that lives. The count-
ry numbers tens, nay, hundreds of
thousands, of women who are widows
to. day, who sit in hopeless weeds,
because their husbands have been
slain by strong elriok. There are
thousands of homes scattered over
the land in which wives live fives of
torture, going through all changes of
suffering that lie between the extrem-
es of fear and despair, because those
whom they love, love the intoxicating
bowl better than the women whom
they have sworn to love. There are
women by thousands who dread to
hear at the door the step that once
thrilled them with pleasure. There
are women groaning with pain, while
we write these words, caused by
bruises and brutalities inflicted by
husbands made mad with drink.
There can be no exaggeration m the
sentiments in regard to this matter,
because no human imagination can
picture anything worse than the
truth, and no pen is capable of por-
traying the truth. The sorrows and
horrors of a wife with a drunken hus-
band, or a mother with a son, are as
near the realization of hell as eau bo
reached in this world.
VARIETIES.
A swarm of bees invaded a Mary-
land church on a recent Sunday, and
the pastor had to admit with tears in
his eyes, no congregation was ever so
moved by his very beat sermon.
Citizen—Good morning, doctor.
How's your health ? Physician -1
am not feeling very well to -day.
Oitizen—Good gracious, doctor 1
Haven't been taking your medicine,

An old. Scotch woman, wishing to
cross the river Forth, hesitated to en-
ter ferry boat because a storm was
brewing. The boatman asked her if
she would not trust in Providence.
"Na, na," she said, "I will na trust
in Providence as lang as there is a
bridge in Stirling."
What Was Wanted.—"Are you in
favor of enlarging the curriculum ?"
asked a rural school direotol of a far.
mer in his district. "Enlarge no-
thing," replied the old gentleman ;
"the building's big enough ; what we
want is to teach more things to the
scholars."
The Only Missing Link.—Minister
—"Of what were you accused 7"
Convict—"Stealing a watch, Imado
a good fight about it. 1 had two
lawyers and proved an alibi with six-
teen witnesses. Then both my law-
yers made strong speeches to the
jury. No use, I was sent up for four
years." "I don't see why you were
not acquitted." "Well, I confess
there was one weak point in my de-
fense. They found the watch in my
poozet."
Dear mo, it is raining, Mrs. Ran-
dall. You can't go out in the wet.
Won't you stay to tea 7" No, thanks,
I must be getting home." "Well,
anyway, you must wear my rubbers,"
"No, thank you, Mrs. Hopkins, it
MI raining much, and besides 1

Mrs. Hopkins said she wished the
mean old thing would oatoh her death
of cold.

A now gnide.boolt mentions that
"the city proper is surrounded by the

may be dangerous.
A young countryman gave a graphic
description of a narrow eseape that he
bad recently had from au enraged bull.
"1 seized hila by the tail," he explain-
ed ; an' there 1 was, 1 was afraid to
hold on nn' I dessn't let go." "Be-
tween the horns of a dilemma, as it
were," ventured a .young lady, very
mach interested. "No, ma'am," re-
plied the countryman : "I wasn't by
the horns at all, an' besides, he wasn't
a dilemma ; ho was a Jersey,"
A white man from away down
South in the Okeechobee Lake regions
came up to Gainsville, last week, en
business at the Milted States Land
Office. While here he saw the first
ice be had ever seen. Ho manifested
great interest iu the frigid substance,
and put a half -pound lump in his
pants packet to take home to his fam-
ily. He soon took it out of his pock-
et, however, and as lie did so said :—
"I am afoerd it will epile my ter -
backer."
Rev. Doctor Hansom, of Chicago,
recently lectured at Chautauqua, his
subject being "Fools." Rev. Doctor
Vincent, who is somewhat of a wag,
introduced him as follows :—"We
are now to have a lecture on fools, by
one—[long pause and loud laughter]
—of the wisest men m the country."
Tho lecturer advanced to the desk and
responded as follows :—"I am not
half so big a fool as Dootor Vincent
[long pause and loud laughter] —
would have you suppose."
"Won't you have another piece of
pie Mr. Heatherly ?" asked Bobby
hospitably, His mother was enter-
taining a few friends at dinner and
the dessert was being dismissed.
"Thanks, Bobby," Featherly replied,
laughingly, "since you are so polite
about it, I believe I will take a email
piece more." "All right," said Bob-
by. "Now, ma, remember your pro.
mise. You said if it was necessary
to cut into the second pie I could have
two pieces."
She Paid Extra.—A widow, whose
age might have been forty, went into
business on Grand River avenue a
few weeks ago, and the first move was
to get a sign painted. The services
of a sign painter wore secured, and
when he finished his work he put on
his "imprint" by placing his initials
"W. A. H.," down on the left hand
corner of the sign. When the widow
Dame to oritise the work she queried;
"What does 'W. A. H.' stand for?"
"Why, 'Wanted a Husband,' " replied
the painter. "Oh, yes—I see," she
mused. "It was very thoughtful in
you, and Here is.a dollar extra I"
THE EGG -DANCE OF BHOP3 L.
A traveller gives as pretty descrip•
tion of the graceful egg -dance which
was performed for his amusement in
the Court of Bhopal,India. A. slend-
er girl, arrayed in au embroidered
bodice short skirts like those worn by
the peasant woman in this part of
India, tripped forward with light foot-
steps. In her hand she carried a
basket filled with eggs, whioh she
passed around for the spectators to
touch, that they might be sure there
was n i deception, and that the eggs
were real eggs. She slid not dance
on them however. She wore on her
head a large wheel of wickerwork,
and around this at equal distances
were planed threads with Blip -knots
at the ends, in each knot a glass
bead to keep it from closing. Tho
music begins. It is it quick, jerking
movement, rather monotonous, and
the dancer spins around in time with
the measure, whioli grows faster and
faster. As she turns she seizes an
egg from the basket, which is held
on her loft arm, and rapidly inserts
it in one of rho knots. Her ofrouter
motion 0110508 the thread to stretch
out like the spoke of a wheel She
keeps on doing this till every knot
has ite egg, and herhead is surround-
ed by a sort of aureole. When she
has outmoded in placing all the eggs
she spine around so fast that her fes.
tures can hardly be seen. A false
atop, and Humpty Dumpty would
have a fall indeed. She has nuw the
most dainty and difficult part of her
dance to execute, for the dance is
not done tell every egg is taken from
its thread and laid safely bank in the
basket, One by one the Indian girl
a000mplishos gib, never crushing
a shell nor displacing a single egg.
When all aro restored she scope her
dizzy whirl, courtesies with grace,
and offers her basket to the lookers-
an, who often break tho eggs to prove
that no juggler's trick has boon used
to change them.
